 The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission has suspended and fined cannabis multi-state operator and industry giant, Curaleaf Holdings.
Oregon regulators say Curaleaf mixed up THC and CBD in infused products, and mislabled 1,500 drop packages under it’s “Select” brand. The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission has therefore fined Curaleaf Holdings a total of $130,000, as well as suspended it’s business license for 23 days. 11 customers filed federal lawsuits, with claims that they required medical attention after taking CBD drops that actually contained high doses of THC. Ten of those lawsuits have so far been settled with the company. The Oregonian reported that the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission first proposed a $200,000 fine and a 70-day license suspension. However, Curaleaf successfully fought the punishment, and subsequently received the smaller fine of $130,000 and the shorter suspension of just 23 days. Curaleaf can further reduce the suspension to only 12 days if it pays an additional $2,750. Oregon’s cannabis regulators told The Oregonian that Curaleaf was cooperative and demonstrated its violations weren’t on purpose. Comments are closed.
